W e all need some advice from time to time, or maybe an opportunity to join in with others who will listen to our concerns, our thoughts and our ideas. We are human, after

all, and that personal interaction is one of the things that make us click with each other. The Boone Community CARES program is all about interaction with its diverse programs and central goal of serving families and building strong relationships within the community. Individual programs under the CARES umbrella include Parents Anonymous, The Stork’s Nest, Love and Logic (a parent education program), Children in the Middle, adult educa-tion titled Nurturing Healthy Sexual Development, and the Community CARES twice-monthly suppers.

I was impressed to learn about the wide range of information that can be gathered from these programs. Whether you are looking for a good, hot meal or advice on financial matters or relaxation therapies, you can find it in the Boone Community CARES program. Are you a frustrated parent dealing with today’s common challenges? You will be glad to know that you are not alone. Are you an expecting mother or a new mom who needs assistance? Boone Community CARES programs can help. Or maybe you just want a chance to unload and surround yourself with others who understand and care. That pretty much describes us all. In this month’s cover story, we share information and background on the various programs that are available along with information on how you can get involved. Thanks for reading.

I t’s fundamental, essential to the well-being of one’s body, and even one’s soul. To be cared about, even cared for, or just

to know that there is one person out there — somewhere — who cares, is a longing buried deep in every person. Boone County Community CARES was founded with the mission to extend a caring

hand, an understanding ear and even a hot meal to anyone who wants to get out of the house once in awhile and enjoy the company of fellow people who call this community home. “We try to run programs that bring people out of isolation,” says Karen Naumes, coordina-tor for the program that began about five years in Boone.

Boone Community CARES is a diverse program, with many different facets all revolving around that central goal of serving families and building strong relationships within the com-munity.

tion titled Nurturing Healthy Sexual Development and the Community CARES twice-monthly suppers.

A good, hot mealThe supper is perhaps the best way to begin. After all, if there’s one way to bring people together, it’s usually through food. And Boone Community CARES does just that twice a month, meeting from 5:30 - 8 p.m. at the Evangelical Free Church, located at 1407 Kate Shelly Drive, always on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. There’s no cost to attend any of the meals, both singles and families are welcome, and free childcare is provided. “The people who come to Community CARES really make good friends and build good friend-ships,” says Naumes. The evening begins with a meal that families share together, after which time educational program-ming is provided for both children and adults. Indeed, Naumes makes a point of emphasizing that it’s not really “free child care” that’s offered, but rather a fun program that usually has a little bit of learn-ing built-in. “We don’t say it’s baby-sitting; it’s classroom activities,” she says. For the adult session, topics are wide-ranging, from financial matters to relaxation therapies. “We have all kinds of speakers come in,” Naumes says. “We’ve had a consumer credit person talking about budgeting. We have some-one from the library telling about their programs. We had someone from the Y and all their programs. We have all different kinds of top-ics, and we ask the people what they’re interested in, too.” For holidays, adults and chil-dren come together for celebra-tions at the CARES suppers. At Christmas, free family portraits were a popular feature, while fam-ily picnics are expected to make a return for the summer. Later this spring, the suppers will get the season off to an early start with a Beach Party theme. Aside from the social atmo-sphere — which is a critical compo-nent of the evenings — the CARES gatherings serve a broader purpose

of finding assistance for people new to the community or people in need. “We start each of our meetings with the ‘New and Good.’ We go around the room and say our name, where we’re from and something new and good that’s happened to us,” Naumes explains. And while she acknowledg-es that in tough economic times something “new and good” might not be the first thing on some-one’s mind, helping people find that positive element is really part of the purpose. “No matter how much you’re struggling in your life, everybody has something new and good,” Naumes says. “They don’t always think about it, but you just have to make yourself think about it and share it with each other.”

By sharing and realizing that even little things can be meaning-ful, it sets the tone for a positive evening. After finding their good news, attendees are then asked to share their “Wants and Needs,” going around the room in a similar fashion asking people about the hardships they may be facing. “We do ‘Wants and Needs,’ where if somebody needs some-thing, like a piece of furniture, or they need help moving, or they need help cleaning because they’re going through a rough time, we throw it out to the group, and we kind of help each other,” Naumes explains. Finally, after hearing the “New and Good,” and seeking assistance for the “Wants and Needs,” there is just one thing left to do — give a little thanks, and that’s just what

they do. “Then we appreciate the per-son sitting next to us, because everybody deserves to be appreci-ated,” Naumes explains. The questions and appreciation really serve as just an important avenue of communication among the different people attending from night to night. It’s a diverse group, according to Naumes, and new-comers are welcomed and encour-aged. “We have teachers, we have people from DMACC coming, we have nurses, ministers, people who work — everyone is welcome,” Naumes says with an inviting smile.

umbrella is targeted only for parents, including foster parents and the growing number of grand-parents who are raising their grandchildren. Parents Anonymous is billed as an oppor-tunity for parents to get together and discuss the common challenges and concerns they face in today’s world. The group meets the first and third Thursday of each month, from 6:30 - 8 p.m. at the Open Bible Church, located at 1224 Hancock Drive. Naumes says there’s only rule at Parents Anonymous, and it’s strictly enforced: What is said here, stays here. Because parents and kids face so many tough challenges, and because those challenges can be deeply personal, confi-dentiality is not just respected — it’s required. In today’s world, having a place where a par-ent can come and unload, and seek advice from their fellow parents without worrying those that words might be repeated elsewhere, is an essen-tial tool for helping parents become even better parents. “We go around the room and we talk about what’s going on in our life, or how it’s been going, what we struggle with, what our kids struggle with, or if we’re frustrated in any way. And if we’re having a good week, then we share that with each other,” Naumes explains. One of the best things the group does is simply share advice, parent to parent. “We ask them what tip did their parents teach them that they are passing down to their children,” Naumes says. Two common themes gleaned from these sessions include family time and chore time.

“I think people wish that families could go back to eating meals together. They see that as a problem,” she says. In many households, for example, families aren’t even watching TV together as kids and parents all have separate TVs in their own bedrooms. That’s a far cry from the days when families gathered together to watch Ed Sullivan or I Love Lucy on a fuzzy black and white screen in the living room. “They need to get back to that; they need to get back to a family game night, and they’re see-ing a difference in their households when they do that,” she says. Naumes is also a fan of chores, for that is what real life is like. “Chores teach responsibility, accountabil-ity, what life is like,” she says. “For some kids, chores help them make an allowance, and then they learn to save their money and use their money wisely.” Paid chores also can build empathy on the part of children for their parents as they learn how their parents work to earn a dollar. It builds a correlation between work and money and teaches a lesson that can last a lifetime. Stork’s NestYet another program under the CARES umbrella is the Stork’s Nest, which provides education and assistance to expectant moms and new moms with children up to two years of age. Moms and moms-to-be enrolled in the Stork’s Nest learn parenting techniques and earn points to help them purchase needed items for their infants. The group meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month at the Evangelical Free Church, 1407 Kate Shelly Drive. Hours vary to allow women with different work schedules to take part. Each session includes educational informa-tion for new moms, with guest speakers ranging from OB delivery nurses, to teachers, dental professionals and other informational sources in the community. Perhaps best of all, moms in the program learn from each other, and then they also earn points to be used in the Stork’s Nest store. Points are awarded for a variety of healthy behaviors, including such things as going to the doctor, taking your baby in for a well baby checkup, going for walks, going to church, going to a moms’ group, giving up smoking or taking a class. A traveling playpen, often located at local churches, collects donations for the Stork’s Nest store, where moms can spend their points on such basic items as diapers, baby wipes, bassinets and a variety of baby needs. The program is not aimed at one income group, as any new mom can benefit from learn-ing from others. As the mother of two grown

daughters, Naumes says she wishes she would have had a program such as this when was a new mom to help her learn the ropes of parenthood. Particularly when a new mom is over-whelmed by the responsibility, being able to help her figure it out is the most rewarding thing in the world for Naumes. “When you see a mom be able to smile, and when they may have walked in the door thinking their was no hope, but when they walk out and see hope, there’s no greater reward in life,” she says. For those wishing to get involved, or to help support any of the Community CARES programs, the organization is planning a silent chair auction this spring. Chairs will be on display in the Boone County Hospital atrium from April 1 – 9 for bid-ding through noon on April 9. For more information about any of the programs, including Community CARES, Parents Anonymous, Stork’s Nest, Love and Logic, Nurturing Healthy Sexual Development or Children in the middle, contact Boone County Community CARES at (515) 432-3148.

W hile it’s true that tradi-tional life insurance is designed to help meet

the financial needs of your loved ones when you die, permanent life insurance can also provide financial benefits while you’re living.

In addition to having access to your policy’s accumulated cash value, permanent life insurance can help you manage expenses related to health care. One such option is the Daily Living Rider.1 This addi-tional coverage makes a portion of your policy’s death benefit, up to a maximum of $250,000; available to you should you become chroni-cally ill.2 The Daily Living Rider is available upon issue of the policy, and may be elected one time dur-ing the life of the policy. There is an additional cost when electing the Daily Living Rider coverage. The Daily Living Rider is not disability or long-term care insur-ance, but is a way for people who own permanent life insur-ance to draw upon the death benefit to help meet immediate financial obligations if they are unable to perform daily activities unassisted or are diagnosed with a severe cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s. Contact me if you are interest-ed in additional information about permanent life insurance and the variety of policy riders available to help meet your unique needs. Some riders, such as the Daily Living Rider, can only be added at issue while other riders can be added to existing policies.

Provides term life insurance for each of your qualify-ing children, age 7 days to 23 years. 1The Daily Living Rider is not to be purchased as a long-term care or health insurance policy, but can pro-vide help with needs resulting from terminal or catastrophic illness. In most situations, canceling, reducing, surrendering or replacing a long-term care or health insurance policy for this rider would be considered unsuitable. Any benefit paid from the rider will reduce the death benefit payable on the policy. 2A chronically ill individual means any individual who has been certified by a licensed health-care professional as being unable to perform (without substantial assistance from another individual) at least two activities of daily living for a period of 90 days due to a loss of functional capacity and/or requiring substantial supervision to protect such individual from threats to health and safety due to severe cognitive impairment. In Kansas, a chronically ill individual must also be confined in an eligible institution.

O ne of the nation’s best-known college dropouts left a legacy that suggests

one should never underestimate the ability of art to inspire. After all, it wasn’t an organic chemistry or calculus class that he recalled many years later, but a calligraphy class that brought art to the everyday task of handwriting. Helping students see that art is around them every day, and helping them discover that they can create their own art, is the driving mission of Katie Baedke, pottery and sculpture teacher at Boone High School. “I think a lot students even surprise themselves with how cre-ative they can be,” Baedke says. “Sometimes they just haven’t tapped into it or really had the opportunity” to exercise their most creative genes. A Story City native and 2006 graduate of the University of Northern Iowa, art education was a natural career choice for Baedke. “I’ve always had an interest in art and making things and building things with my hands. I’ve always been interested in working with children, and those kinds of things just went together,” she says. Baedke taught in Omaha, Neb., for two years before coming to Boone four years ago. She likes being back in central Iowa, enjoys

teaching at a smaller school and appreciates that the community is supportive of the fine arts. While some of her students may find a career in art, or even just a hobby that can last a lifetime, she wants to instill in them an eye for art and an appreciation of the fact that it’s all around them. In addition to hand-on artistry, they also study a bit of art history and terminology for a well-rounded education. “In sculpture, we talk about how art is all around, and design-ers are using things we see every day and take for granted. A huge part of art for me is seeing how we don’t have go to a gallery to experience it,” she says. “I’m always thinking as an art-ist and a teacher and trying to think of the next great project,” she says. Oh, and as for that college dropout who never forgot the artistry he learned in calligraphy class? His name was Steve Jobs. Never underestimate art.

A: A duathlon is similar to a triathlon except swimming is not included as one of the events; a duathlon includes a run, bike, run. The Boone County Hospital Foundation Duathlon in June will include a two-mile run, 14-mile bike ride and a two-mile run again.

Q: As a beginner, how do I prepare to compete in a duathlon?A: You should take part in 30 to 45 minutes of cardiovascular exercise four times per week for at least one month prior to beginning a train-ing regimen. Plan for about four to seven hours per week for training. Consider doing extra training if you have additional endurance back-ground. You can add extra swimming or biking minutes more easily than running because of the impact. Spend extra time training on the sports you aren’t strong in. A portion of the bicycling workouts may be completed on stationary trainers or spin bikes. However, you should be comfortable on your bicycle. During the last few weeks it’s especially important you can shift, steer and brake proficiently. Remember, you can walk as needed during a duathlon, so occasional walk breaks are permit-ted. Practice bike to run sessions during training so you will know what to expect from your legs during the race. Get a physician’s approval before you begin any exercise program. If you experience any persistent joint or muscle pain, consult with a physi-cian.

what’s in your garage?

By Lori Berglund

Tim Van Cannon is a big fan of Fords

Trusty old truck

Contact Darren at 953-4822 ext. 304 or [email protected] to recom-mend someone for an upcoming issue of “What’s In Your Garage?”

D ogs may be a man’s best friend, but if there’s one relationship that comes a

close second it just might be a man’s trusty old pickup truck. Tim Van Cannon of Boone has been a fan of old pickup trucks — especially Ford trucks — for just about as long as he can remember. “My dad always drove Fords,” Van Cannon says, and the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree where that choice is concerned. One of Van Cannon’s favorite rides is a 1980 Ford F350, one-ton truck that he bought used shortly after he got out of high school. The extremely high-riding Ford may be familiar to many area residents as he’s driven it in a few Pufferbilly parades over the years. The now 32-year-old truck had already had one restoration job done on it when Van Cannon bought it about 16 years ago, and he did another major renovation on it about six years ago. “I did a frame up restoration on it, basically took it down to the frame and built it all back up,” he explains. Van Cannon says he’s had a lot

of fun in the truck over the years, and at one time used to enter it in the mud bog and mud racing competition at the Boone County Fair. These days, the F350 takes life a little more gently, but he still gets it out and drives it a lot in the summer. “I did a lot of off-road stuff with it when I was younger,” add-ing that he drove it just about anywhere he could find and put it to the test. As a guy who’s always enjoyed tinkering on vehicles, Van Cannon also has a 1973 Bronco and a 1978 half-ton that he works on when-ever he gets a chance. “Dad always had something around working on,” Van Cannon says, recalling how he would help his dad with restoration work. One of their memorable jobs was on a 1964 Ford Falcon that they took to car shows as far away as Missouri. Like all car and truck guys, Van Cannon is always looking for his next set of wheels. In his case, he’s always wanted a 1956 Ford pickup, and that’s one dream that just might come true some day.

health Q&A

A: Family times are important times. Children need love, attention and supervision. The best gift you can give your child is your time. Help your children find ways to enjoy family time with games, reading, sports, hob-bies and family-focused activities. Children grow up and are gone before you realize it. Don’t waste away the time you have with them now.

Some parents and families may have the time to get involved in many ways. Others may only have the time for one or two activities. But what-ever your level of involvement, remember: If you get involved and stay involved, you can make a world of difference. Learn simple ways to slow down and find the time to connect with the people you care about most: your family.

Family activities don’t have to cost money. Activities sponsored by community and religious organizations provide opportunities that are free or inexpensive for children and families to engage in positive social and learning experiences. Families can reinforce their children’s learning by going to libraries, museums, free concerts and cultural fairs together.

In Boone County there are many activities that support family involvement and a very good place to learn about what is available is at the second annual Celebrate Families Event, which will be held on Saturday, April 14, at the Boone Middle School. We hope to see you there.

Take time to laugh and be silly with your child.

Information provided by Julie Nash, Boone County Empowerment.

Q: Why is family time important?

A: If you’re not careful, slouching at a desk all day or tapping away at a computer keyboard can lead to painful and disabling strains in your wrists, shoulders, elbows and back. Dr. Zach Weisbrod urges you to turn over a new leaf and follow some simple advice that will make the year more enjoyable and less painful.

“We used to believe that occupations like construction caused most on-the-job injuries,” says Dr. Weisbrod. “However, someone who works at a computer is putting considerable stress on their wrists, shoulders, neck and spine, and this can cause some really painful work-place injuries.”

Repetitive motion injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome have become increasingly prevalent in recent years, as more and more people spend long hours in front of a computer screen.

“Today, it’s not just the administrative assistant who uses a computer,” says Dr. Weisbrod. “Most corporate executives spend their work day in front of a computer, too. When the work day ends, many people go home and ‘surf the net’ for hours on their own PCs.”

To reduce the possibility of suffering one of these painful injuries, Dr. Weisbrod suggests: Make sure your chair fits correctly. Sit with your knees at approximately a 90- to 120-degree angle. Position your computer monitor so the top of the screen is below eye level. Keep your wrists in the neutral position while you type. A wrist rest can help. Take periodic stretch breaks.

Q: How can I avoid neck pain when I work at a desk all day?

A: After surgery, your surgeon will recommend the appropriate time for you to start wearing a prosthesis. This will depend on your medical condi-tion, the postoperative healing process, and the type of mastectomy that was performed. Immediately after surgery, a woman usually wears a fiber-filled breast form (if allowed by her physician). Such forms add very little pressure to the incision site. The stuffing may be increased or decreased to match the remaining breast. The patient will often receive permission from her physician to wear a weighted breast prosthesis somewhere around six weeks postoperatively. A physician’s prescription for a breast prosthesis and mastectomy bras is necessary for Medicare and insurance purposes. You can take control of your appearance and boost your self-esteem with a properly-fitted breast prosthesis. A good breast prosthesis can help in several ways: It can balance and normalize your appearance, protect your surgical scar, prevent your bra from moving around, bal-ance weight on your shoulders. and avoid complaints of back, neck and shoulder pain due to an imbalance on the spine. The internal composition of a breast prosthesis today may consist of water, silicone, glycerine or latex. The outer covering is usually light-weight, hypoallergenic plastic film or silicone. The weight of the prosthe-sis is determined by the materials from which it is made. Silicone can be whipped to incorporate air, thereby creating a much lighter prosthesis. Schedule an appointment for a personal mastectomy fitting with an experienced fitter as soon as your physician says you’re ready.

Q: How soon can I be fitted for a breast prosthesis after a mastectomy?

Melissa Elder, MS, LMNT, Director of Senior Nutrition Services, WesleyLife, 944 18th St. Des Moines, 699-3244, www.WesleyLife.org.

Q. Can elected officials help end senior hunger?A: As our population continues to age, the need for food assistance is rising among our seniors. According to information published in 2011 by Alliance for Aging Research, the number of U.S. citizens turning 65 is now up to 10,000 per day. The Senior Economic Security Index has reported during the past several years that older Americans have expe-rienced shifts that are making entering retirement with financial security increasingly more difficult. More than 78 percent of all senior households are financially unable to sustain their abilities to meet essential expenses and cover projected costs over their lifetimes. Therefore, the month of March, which is National Nutrition Month, is the time for you to act. Encourage your elected local, state and national officials to lead the fight against senior hunger in our communities. One way you can do this is to encourage your community mayor to participate in this year’s Mayors for Meals day (March 21). In conjunction with the Meals on Wheels Association of America, this is a special day set aside for our mayors and elected officials to take the time to deliver Meals on Wheels to home-bound seniors in our communities. The WesleyLife Meals on Wheels program has already invited your mayor and elected officials to partici-pate. Please take time to call or email your local mayor today to encour-age him or her to do so. If you would also like to join in and participate, get involved by calling the WesleyLife Meals on Wheels program today.

T he F. W. Fitch Company was established in Boone in the1890s. Inspiration for the

shampoo business came from the attempts of its founder, Boone bar-ber Frederick Walter Fitch, to find relief from an irritating and painful condition, known as “scald head.” “Scald head,” an itchy, crusty eruption on the scalp, also causes hair to fall out. Boone doctors were unable to treat Fitch, so he sold his barbershop and moved to Des Moines to seek better medical help. Still not finding relief for his affliction, Fitch began to evaluate known treatments for scalp con-ditions. He found that the most of the preparations used to treat scalp problems contained as much as 96 percent wood alcohol, which exacerbated those problems. Fitch purchased a barbershop in Madrid in the early 1890s, where a local physician tried to help him by prescribing blood purifying med-icines to be taken internally. The treatment did not work, and Fitch believed that “scalp troubles must be treated externally.” Borrowing the doctor’s books, Fitch learned that the flaked-off skin and sebum from sebaceous glands constitut-ing dandruff was normal, but if it was not cleansed from the scalp, it eventually clogged pores and formed a crusty coat on the head. The secret was simple: keep the head antiseptically clean. Experimenting with new for-mulas and potions over a five-year period ending in 1897, Fitch gradually perfected his compound, the Ideal Dandruff Remover, and began to use it in his barbershop. Treatment was a three-step pro-cess: The dandruff remover was put on the head to dissolve the dandruff, then it was washed out

with shampoo and, lastly, the Ideal Dandruff Remover was reapplied as a soothing tonic. Fitch relocated to Boone in 1898, establishing a larger barber-shop and aggressively marketing his products. By 1899, he was manufacturing his compounds in the basement of his home. Two years later, he built a two-story frame factory building, which soon became too small. Around 1912, he purchased the Dewey Hotel building, built by J. B. McHose and still standing on Seventh Street, in which he established a laboratory, office, storage and packing and shipping rooms. In 1917, Fitch moved his company to Des Moines, where it expanded worldwide. Fitch also manufactured a number of toiletries including toi-let waters (cologne and perfumes), rouge and facial creams. The Ideal Shampoo and Tonique Superbe won the gold medal and grand prize at the Paris Exposition in 1911, at the London Exposition in 1913 and the San Francisco International Exposition in 1915.


E aster is a special time for Boone churches, and any-one who would like to

join in the celebrations at First Evangelical Free Church is welcome to begin with a 7 p.m. service and communion on Maundy Thursday, April 5. Good Friday brings a prayer service at noon. And Easter Sunday begins with a 6:45 sunrise ser-vice at McHose Park, then to the church for breakfast followed by two resurrection celebration ser-vices at 8:30 and 11 a.m. For more information, contact the church at 432-7690. In addition to the special holi-day services they offer, churches in Boone are focused on serving others, regardless of whether or not they are members of their church. But a few churches are asking for extra helping hands. Others welcome all to rejoice in celebrating ends that bring about new beginnings. The Augustana Women of Augustana Lutheran Church are partnering with Lutheran World Relief to create personal and baby care kits to send to families and children in need. Items for the personal care kits can be delivered to the church or brought in and placed in tubs under the table in the fellowship hall. Monetary donations may also by submitted.

M y dining companion and I were a little overdue for a day out just for ourselves.

He strolled the antique stores downtown while I took care of some errands before we met back up in search of a little place for a quick mid-afternoon meal that would serve as both dinner and supper. We settled on Big G’s Log Cabin Bar-B-Que, a quiet, inviting place where we were quickly seated and served some cold beverages as we began to study the menu. But first a word about my cold beverage of choice, a cold 1919 draft-style root beer that absolute-ly hit the spot with the entire meal to come. My dining companion, well, he enjoyed a cold beverage of a stronger sort. When it comes to barbecue and Big G’s, there are a lot of great choices, but I finally settled on just a simple pulled pork sandwich on a wheat bun. The meat was tender, with just the right hint of smoke. As one who enjoys a kick to my taste buds from time to time, I poured on the sauces, plenty of hot and a little bit of mild, and enjoyed the blend of favors as they soaked into the meat and bun. My dining companion opted for the chicken wings, which came dripping in a tangy sauce of their

own. He was pleasantly surprised with the amount of meat on the wings. I stole a sample to confirm that the meat was as a moist and juicy as it looked. We split a huge order of French fries, a simple dish to be sure, but these fries were clearly a notch above the typical fare. As content as we were with our meals, when our waitress checked back to tell us about the homemade pies, we somehow made room for a shared dessert. (Actually, we couldn’t resist as soon as she mentioned strawberry/rhubarb pie, one of our homemade favorites.)

As a pie crust aficionado, I’m not easy to impress with pie, but this golden flaky crust would have made my grandmother proud, and my granny was one sweet pie baker. The service also deserves a nod at Big G’s, as the waitress was friendly and welcoming, and the food was served quickly and piping hot from the kitchen.

T he mission of Keep Boone County Beautiful is to protect and preserve the

beauty and quality of life through partnerships between citizens, business, neighborhoods and gov-ernment and to continue to foster pride in our county’s environment. The Keep Boone County Scenic Litter Clean-up Day fos-ters our desire to educate our participants about the impact of illegal dumping. This program con-sists of a number of independent, community-based litter collection events that are held around Earth Day each year. KBCB helps to coordinate and track these efforts. You can “Keep Boone County Scenic” by volunteering to par-ticipate in our third annual county-wide spring litter clean-up day. The event will take place the Saturday before Earth Day on April 21 from 9 a.m. to noon. This event is not a garbage pick-up event like the city wide cleanups. It is a “go for a walk” and pick up litter day. Parks, schools, trails, parking lots and neighborhoods are on the list for litter pick-up. KBCB will supply trash col-lection bags for entities that pre-register their litter collec-tion events. For pre-registered and qualifying events, the Boone County Landfill will accept col-lected litter free-of-charge. Businesses, organizations, groups, schools, churches, individ-uals, etc. are encouraged to partic-

ipate. Our meeting place in Boone will be at the Recycling Center on Division Street (north end of Coe Trucking). Other towns will be setting up their meeting places as the time grows nearer. In 2010, our initial year, events were held in Boone, Madrid, Pilot Mound, Boxholm and several Boone County parks. In 2011, the day was windy and miserable but volunteers still came out to help. If you have a specific area you would like to clean, please contact us so we can designate your group for that area. Boone County is a very scenic area, and it takes all of us to keep it that way. Litter takes away from that beauty. Keep Boone County Scenic Spring Litter Clean-up Day will not only spruce up our local communities and Boone County after the winter thaw, but it is our sincere hope to also use this event as a learning experience to enlighten and educate the com-munity and those visiting. We take pride in our cities and county, so please think twice before throwing that trash on the ground. Keep Boone County Scenic Litter Clean-up Day is being coor-dinated by Keep Boone County Beautiful and its dedicated volun-teers. If you would like to become a member of KBCB or would like to help in the planning of this event or others sponsored by KBCB, call Lois or Lisa at 515-433-0591 or email [email protected].

M ini lemon tarts are a fun dessert to make for a spe-cial family gathering.

These tarts can be served as individual desserts or shared by two people. I like the idea of being able to make individual desserts because you can customize them to each family member. Someone might want more topping while someone else does not like the topping, etc. Plus it looks great when you bring dessert to the table. A tart is similar to a pie but the crust is different. A tart crust is considered a short crust because it does not go over the edge of the pan like a pie crust and the ingredients are different. A tart crust is based on half fat to flour ratio compared to a pie crust that has a leavening agent. Tarts can be filled with a wide range of items. They can be sweet and filled with fruit, custards, or savory and filled with meat. A quiche is also considered a tart. Lemon is a great flavor to use at this time of year. It is in season and it helps you think of spring. This particular tart does have a meringue topping which is very simple to make, but if you prefer whipped cream or whipped topping you can skip the meringue. If you don’t have six mini tart pans, you can use one eight- or nine-inch tart pan. There’s that customization again.

Mini lemon tartsBy Beth McDonald

Mini lemon tarts

Tart recipe:1 ½ cup of sifted flour2/3 cup of butter2 tsp. of almond extract2 to 3 tbsp. of cold water

Directions:Sift the flour and sugar together. Cut in the butter until it is like course meal. Sprinkle in the almond extract and 1 tbsp. of water. I mix with my hands. I wear disposable gloves and work it together until it forms a ball. Usually I have to add the 2nd tbsp. of water. Put mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before lining the tart pans. Place in pans and bake at 350 for 12 - 15 minutes until light brown.

Filling:½ cup of lemon juice1 tsp of lemon rind (optional)1 15 oz. can sweetened condensed milk2 eggs separated¼ tsp of cream of tartar4 tbsp. of sugar

Directions:Combine the lemon juice and rind. Blend in the condensed milk. Beat the egg yolks slightly and then blend into mixture. Pour into cooled tart pans with the crust. Beat the egg whites until foamy and white then add the cream of tartar. Add 1 tbsp. of sugar at a time, beating well until you have stiff peaks. Pile the meringue on each tart. Brown in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.

Individual desserts are easy to customize
